On a much more positive note, anti-drug activist Kevin Zeese is running for the US Senate in Maryland as an anti-war Libertarian, Green and Populist. If this could be done throughout our nation without compromising essential principles, we could recapture our country and begin to restore liberty. I haven't read his site thoroughly, but I could find no violation of libertarian principles. I am sure if there are any, folks on this list would be the first to inform us. http://www.kevinzeese.com/ As for McPeek , nobody who advocates conscription should ever be supported by any decent person and certainly not by L/libertarians.
For life and liberty, David Macko ----- Original Message ----- From: Thomas L. Knapp To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, August 24, 2006 9:36 AM Subject: [Libertarian] Another interesting LP candidate Partial platform of Charles McPeek, LP candidate for Congress in Maryland: - Mandatory registration to vote ("Incumbents stay because the little people don't vote ... I want to require young people to register to vote") - Mandatory military service (using the mandatory voter registration as a database to catch everyone). - Abolish the income tax and replace it with a flat sales tax, which probably means he's a "fair" taxer, but that's unfortunately not uncommon in LP ranks these days. - Oh, and he wants to reduce "minor" drug offenses to misdemeanors -- not because drugs shouldn't be illegal, but because he wants to make sure that defendants don't have pesky lawyers like, you know, defending them or anything. http://tinyurl.com/nprv9 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ForumWebSiteAt http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian Yahoo!
